Ipod Audio Book

The iPod shuffle allows users to bookmark their iPod audio books that have been purchased from Audible.com, and the best way to locate such books is to look for files that have a dot 'aa' extension or those having a dot M4B extension, in case of audio books purchased from an iTunes Store. To make listening to the iPod audio books more convenient, the iPod shuffle automatically bookmarks the spot that has been stopped or paused, and the next time the file is played, it will begin from the bookmarked spot. There are also certain iPod audio books that feature chapter marks, which can be used to navigate through chapters, while also listening to iTunes. By pressing Command-Shift-Right Arrow, one can jump to the next chapter or to the previous chapter by pressing Command-Shift-Left Arrow. In case the iPod shuffle is unable to detect chapter marks, it is possible to set a bookmark at the chapter mark, and then use iTunes to update the iPod shuffle.

Chapter Marks and More

To rewind or fast forward the iPod audio book, one can listen to a brief snippet to know exactly where in the audio book one is. If unsure about where in the iPod audio book one is, one may just release the Rewind or Fast Forward button and give it a listen to. Pausing the audio book is also possible with the iPod audio book, and one can get the iPod shuffle to play from a paused spot, though it may take up to six seconds for it to do so.

One can learn these features and put them to good use the next time one opens an iPod audio book, and with a vast library of audio books, there is sure to be plenty of interesting material available for every taste and need. One can use the iPod audio book to good use by opening one that can teach a foreign language, or choose one of the many blockbuster novels, or pick up a best seller or even try out self-improvement audio books. These audio books are a storehouse of information just waiting to be unleashed.

With prices in the range of a mere two to three dollars, one has plenty of options open to download iPod audio books, and build up one's own library – all from an iTunes Store. One can shop by genre, search favorite authors as well as listen to short previews as many times as one wants, and make a choice and download it, all with a single click of the mouse button.
